Shopify Inbox , 1,930 reviews

Great potential BUT so many flaws that I'm looking for an alternative now....

1-Like all other reviews, I don't like that profiles are being created when someone enters their email address - I doubt this is even legal (following current privacy/GDPR regulations)

2-The fact that customer have to screenshot an image so I can see what product they're talking about is not practical. The app should be able to automatically "capture" whatever product-page they're contacting me from (other apps do this).

3-I should be able to reply to these people via text (instead of -or as well as - email). I've lost sales because of this. A customer may not see a reply if it's sent to their email inbox, even if I reply within minutes. That email may even end up in their spam folder and I don't have the time to be chasing POTENTIAL-customers individually.

Good things: the design is beautiful. Installing the application super easy. The FAQs feature is beautifully designed and so easy to use/customise (the faq-suggestions given are amazing).

Honestly, its a great app. I've tested a few and this one seems the best in terms of functionality, reliability, easy of use, mobile access.... We uninstalled after the meaningly update to button design and PLACEMENT. The new design options are childish and since we cannot adjust distance from corners, we have had to set up other buttons based off where this button lands.. The update not only changed the design but also the placement, now all out buttons are out of wack. Its too much work to go in, every time the developer decided to change thing up, and adjust the other buttons.
Also in response to the review where "The app creates customer profiles on its own, so when the customer goes to create an account, it says "this email is already in use".". The developer response is spot on! The customer can click "forgot password", on the login page, to initiate the process of resetting or creating a password

The Chat works completely fine. I wish it had more customizations. For example: If we had any way to help/assist customers with what's already in their cart, such as adding different quantities, adjusting pricing, adding more customer service to the experience. I also would like to see a different away message based on the day of the week or time of day. Still very glad to have this function in the shop. Easy to install and easy to use.

Below average rating. This app do not support customer chat without insert their first name last name and email. There is no option to turn off. which is not convenient for them when their just want instant message.

First Reply can not insert link. That means when off hour, customer may not contact us through whatsapp. But its official i believe it works faster than competitor apps.

So much spam from Egypt and Nigera. I choose to render whatsapp as Customer Service.

Great basic chat support system, native to shopify. Would like to see a few things before moving to Shopify Inbox full time.

1. Initiate ticket via email. If your customers email you for support, you can't use Shopify Inbox. All tickets must be initiated in chat first.

2. Shopify Inbox recently lost the ability to connect to social media messengers like Instagram and Facebook, as well as Apple's iMessage. This was a big step back; hopefully it returns.

3. Shopify Magic surfaced answers. Right now, Magic is only used for the merchant to pre-fill quick answers that the customer needs to click. The AI should be able to pull answers from around the website, such as product pages, blog articles, policies, etc.

The app really seems great and was an exciting prospect for our store, but unfortunately there's currently a killer flaw: the inability to turn off pre chat form. Requesting a visitor's name and email before talking with them first will greatly reduce the number of people that contact us. People are wary to share their information and it's an unnecessary first step. Hopefully Shopify developers will make it possible to turn off this feature soon.

Incredible app on so many levels. Shopify has done a good job keeping the app incredibly simple, easy to use and cross-device. That being said, this app lacks some very basic integration tools that knock it down from 5 to 3 stars. It would be amazing if it could do something as simple as integrate with Google sheets for reporting, Slack for notification and team tracking, etc. A Zapier integration would be really appreciated!

Nice, simple chat app, but lacks crucial features. It's extremely lacking in being able to receive emails, which is what we thought an "inbox" would automatically include, like a native email inbox similar to Pipedrive. The web app UI fonts are a bit large to read. Also, would be nice to have a settings toggle to turn off collecting people's name and email as a requirement to initiate the chat. That should be optional in our new privacy era we live in.

good day. I would give absolutely zero stars. the app is good, it works well. but. but the infected news from nigeria, no, enough, nerve wracking. shopify should probably think about their marketing partners as some in Nigeria say because they are fake. I have been watching it for the past month. damage the inbox app and even shopify, sad .... such a huge company. but otherwise the app is good. works fine
